Oxygen therapy provides extra oxygen if you have a health condition that prevents you from getting enough.

The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute mentions these potential benefits:

• Improved shortness of breath.
• Improved sleep, if you’re bothered by a breathing disorder during slumber.
• Improved quality of life and lifespan for some people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
